Definitions
- the present application relates to a method of marking ophthalmic lenses.
- ophthalmic lenses such as spectacle lenses or a visor, for example
- the manufacturing methods generally used to obtain a finished lens and cut to the shape of a particular mount typically include steps in which the ophthalmic lens receives on one face of markings, called permanent.
- the permanent technical markings may be formed by etchings, or micro-etchings, representing points or crosses and identifying a particular point (for example the optical center of the ophthalmic lens or the prism reference point for a progressive lens), or axis lines (for example to indicate the horizontal axis in which astigmatism is corrected), or shapes delimiting a particular area (for example, the near vision area or the far vision area in the case a progressive lens).
- thermal processes for the removal of material by burning such as carbon dioxide laser (CO 2 laser) processes.
- CO 2 laser carbon dioxide laser
- IR infrared
- a constituent material of the ray absorbing lens gives rise to the following thermal process: absorption of rays by the material, heat diffusion in the material, melting of the material then vaporization of the material.
- ZAT thermally affected zone
- UV laser radiation interacting with an absorbent material of the lens (usually a polymer) leads to a chemical decomposition process.
- an absorbent material of the lens usually a polymer
- UV photon the energy of an ultraviolet (UV) photon is sufficient to break a covalent bond.
- UV radiation can also reduce the size points and to have better absorption of rays by the material of the lens.
- ultrabreen marking methods are also known, such as "femtosecond” (10 “15 second) or” picosecond “(10 “ 12 second) laser methods.
- picosecond for a pulse duration less than 5 ps (picoseconds)
- the duration of the pulses is of the order of 1 ms (milliseconds).
- the amount of material removed per pulse in an ultrafast marking process is relatively small but the quality of the marking is improved, especially with respect to a thermal process.
- the pulses generated during ultrashort processes have a high intensity (of the order of a few GW / cm 2 , whereas they are of the order of 18 MW / cm 2 in an Excimer laser process or in the order of 3 kW / cm 2 in a CO2 laser process).
- These ultrashort pulses thus make it possible, thanks to a non-linear multiphoton absorption mechanism, to mark transparent materials, for example dielectrics, on the surface.
- thermal processes working in the infrared lead to a large thermally affected area
- ultraviolet processes also working in the infrared, but also in the visible or ultraviolet generate a very small area affected thermally.
- Excimer laser processes working in the ultraviolet also make it possible to obtain a relatively small heat-affected zone.
- Excimer laser or "Femto" methods are relatively expensive methods.
- Excimer laser processes have a strong environmental impact.
- CO2 laser processes are much less expensive, but they generate problems related to the thermal processes mentioned above.
- the present invention therefore aims at providing a device whose source is less expensive, easy to maintain, limiting the environmental constraints, allowing an ablation etching mechanism and further leading to other benefits.
- an ophthalmic lens marking device comprising a laser configured to perform permanent etchings on the ophthalmic lens and being characterized in that the laser is configured to emit a focused beam of pulsed ultraviolet laser radiation, the focused beam having at least the following parameters:
- an energy per pulse of between approximately 5 ⁇ and approximately 100 ⁇ .
- One of the major advantages of such a device is to be able to carry out technical or commercial markings indifferently on a surface, finished or not, of the lens.
- the invention applies for example advantageously to so-called "technical” markings, corresponding to the markings imposed by the ISO 8980-2 standard in paragraph 7.1, and preferably the markings of paragraphs 7.1 a) and 7.1 b) and engraved on the substrate material of the lens, quickly after making the geometry of the lens.
- the invention also applies for example to commercial markings, such as logos or mark designations or markings corresponding to the markings imposed by the ISO 8980-2 standard in paragraph 7.1 c).
- the device according to the invention also makes it possible to carry out markings on very different materials.
- the focused beam further comprises at least one of the following parameters: a pulse frequency between about 100 Hz and about 10 kHz, and / or
- the device is configured so that the focused ultraviolet laser beam comprises at least one of the following parameters:
- the radiation wavelength of the focused ultraviolet laser beam is between about 230 nm and about 290 nm, preferably about 266 nm, and / or
- the pulse frequency between about 100 Hz and about 1 kHz, and / or
- the peak power of between about 10 kW and about 100 kW, and / or
- the pulse duration between about 0.1 ns and about 2 ns, and / or
- the energy per pulse between about 10 ⁇ and about 60 ⁇ .
- peak power is understood to mean the instantaneous power of the laser during a pulse.
- efficiency power is an average of power over time; it is therefore generally much weaker since it is by definition zero between the pulses.
- the device comprises a solid-state laser source configured to emit a beam of pulsed infrared radiation, and a multiplier, positioned at the output of the laser source, configured to multiply a radiation frequency of the emitted infrared beam. at the output of the laser source, preferably by a factor of between three and ten.
- laser source means a laser source whose amplifying medium, also called an active medium, is either a solid or ionic crystal or an optical fiber. Laser sources in the middle solid are thus different from lasers having a liquid or gaseous amplifying medium. In English, the term for solid lasers is "solid-state laser”.
- laser sources are generally easier maintenance and lower cost than laser sources with liquid or gaseous medium, such as excimer type sources.
- the multiplication factor is here chosen to be four, but it may, in general, depending on the initial wavelength of the laser source, be a factor of between three and ten inclusive, preferably between three and five.
- the multiplier is configured to form, by coupling with the laser source, a beam of ultraviolet laser radiation having a wavelength of between about 200 nm and about 300 nm, more preferably between about 208 nm and about 220 nm, for example about 213 nm or about 210 nm or about 209.4 nm or between about 260 nm and about 270 nm, for example about 261.7 nm or about 263 nm or about 266 nm.
- the laser source and the multiplier are two elements that can be distinct, or combined in the same housing. If necessary, the combination of an a-solid laser with a multiplier within the same housing gives a possibly very compact device, therefore transportable and can be transposed at will, as well on a production line as in the laboratory for example .
- the laser source is for example an Nd-YAG laser and the multiplier is for example configured to quadruple the pulse frequency at the output of the ND-YAG laser.
- An ND-YAG source can emit mainly a beam at a wavelength of 1064 nm, which makes it possible to couple it to a quadruplifier. ie a factor four multiplier, to obtain a laser beam with a wavelength of about 266 nm, or about 213 nm with a quintupleur, that is a factor five multiplier.
- the Nd-YAG laser with a multiplier is of the Crylas UVIaser eco mopa (266 nm) type.
- the laser source is for example an Nd-YVO4 laser.
- a laser source emits, for example, a radiation with a wavelength of approximately 1064 nm, which coupled with a quadrupler makes it possible to obtain laser beams with a wavelength of approximately 266 nm, or approximately 213 nm. with a quintupleur.
- the laser source is for example an Nd-YLF laser.
- a laser source emits, for example, a radiation with a wavelength of approximately 1047 nm or a radiation of a wavelength of approximately 1053 nm, depending on its operating mode, which coupled with a quadruple allows obtain laser beams of wavelength of about 262 nm or 263 nm or about 209 nm or 210 nm with a quintupleur.
- the source and the multiplier are configured to emit ultraviolet radiation between 10 and 120 ⁇ .
- the laser source is configured to emit a pulsed radiation laser beam having a pulse energy of between about 30 ⁇ and about 80 ⁇ , preferably greater than 40 ⁇ .
- the energy of the focused ultraviolet beam would then be between about 5 ⁇ and about 65 ⁇ .
- the device comprises an optical block provided with an F-theta lens, which is configured to focus an ultraviolet laser radiation beam in a focusing plane of the F-theta lens with a diameter of focused beam in the focusing plane in the range of about 20 ⁇ to about 50 ⁇ , for example 30 ⁇ .
- the F-theta lens is for example located at the output of the optical block.
- F-theta lens is here denoted a flat-field lens, which by definition has a focusing plane at a distance focusing.
- the focusing distance is for example about 160 mm in an example of preferred implementation but may more generally be between 100 mm and 200 mm.
- the point actually etched by the beam focused on a surface of the ophthalmic lens has a diameter smaller than that of the focused beam incident on a surface of the ophthalmic lens, which is generally placed in the plane of focus.
- the diameter of the etched point would be for example from 15 to 30 ⁇ approximately.
- the optical block comprises an energy attenuator configured to adjust a fluence of the ultraviolet beam focused on a surface of the ophthalmic lens to be marked according to several modes of operation of the attenuator, which modes each define a determined fluence value.
- Fluence corresponds to the impulse energy of the incident beam on the surface of the lens per unit area of insolated surface.
- the attenuator has several modes of operation, it is configured to have several levels of attenuation. It is adjustable, that is to say adjustable, either continuously or in increments. Depending on the target material of the lens, it is thus possible to adjust the fluence of the beam to be applied, by adjusting here the pulse energy output of the attenuator.
- the modes of operation of the attenuator and / or the fluence values determined for the operating modes are defined from at least one parameter of the material of the ophthalmic lens chosen from a degradation parameter and an absorbance at the length of wave of ultraviolet radiation.
- a performance table is obtained by calibrating the attenuator according to different materials, for example by engraving a few markings, by measuring the visibility obtained for several fluence values, to the eye and by vision systems such that a camera, a microscope or even alignment and control machines.
- the same device is thus able to perform both technical markings on the substrate of a lens, before or after polishing, as commercial markings on a surface of the finished lens, that is to say after polishing and functional treatment , of the HMC type (for "Hard Multi Coat” which means “multi-layer hard coating”) or imbibition staining if necessary.
- the functional treatments are defined in the invention as comprising all treatments providing a function useful to a spectacle wearer and made on at least one face of the ophthalmic lens. They comprise here a coloring of the surface of the lens, and / or one or more coating treatments, and / or possibly also an antireflection type treatment.
- the so-called “varnishing” treatments may comprise here the deposition of one or more layers of adhesion and / or anti-shock varnish, known to those skilled in the art under the English name of "primer”, a anti-scratch layer, known to those skilled in the art under the English name of "hard coat”.
- the coating treatments may include, in the context of the invention, the possible deposition of an optical impedance matching layer between two varnishes and / or between the substrate and a varnish to limit the formation of fringes. interference, since this layer is of interest only if at least one varnish has been deposited on the substrate.
- antireflection treatments may include, in the context of the invention, the deposition of an anti-fouling or anti-fog type surface treatment since the deposition of these layers is often done during the same step as the deposition of the anti-glare stack.
- the device and for example the optical block, comprises a probe configured to calibrate the energy attenuator and arranged between the energy attenuator and the ophthalmic lens to be marked, or preferably between the F-theta lens and the lens. to score.

- Figure 1 schematizes the main steps of producing an ophthalmic lens.
- a substrate is first produced according to a pre-established prescription, for example being machined by turning in step 40.
- a substrate is here called a body of the ophthalmic lens. It has traditionally an edge and two surfaces that are separated from each other by the edge. Conventionally, a face, said rear face is often concave, while the other face, said front face is often convex, but the opposite is possible.
- the faces of the lens are polished in step 50.

- Figure 2 schematically shows a device according to an embodiment of the present invention, in particular to implement the marking step 90 of the method described above.
- the device mainly comprises a laser source 1 and an optical block 2.
- the laser source 1 emits a beam of infrared radiation by pulse.
- the optical block 2 in turn allows the beam of laser radiation to be focused so as to be able to achieve the desired etching on a surface 31 of an ophthalmic lens 3, made of at least one predetermined material, which lens 3 is positioned on a support 4.
- an ophthalmic lens 3 made of at least one predetermined material, which lens 3 is positioned on a support 4.
- it is therefore the last layer which is etched, for example, in particular the substrate or the varnish as the case may be.
- the lens is placed in position in the device repository differently.
- the device is configured to emit a focused ultraviolet beam and advantageously has the following parameters:
- a radiation wavelength between 200 nm and 300 nm, or even between about 230 nm and about 290 nm, preferably between about 208 nm and about 220 nm, for example about 209 nm or about 210 nm or about 213 nm, or alternatively, even more particularly between about 260 nm and about 270 nm, for example about 261, 7 nm or about 263 nm or about 266 nm,
- an energy per pulse at the focusing point of between approximately 5 ⁇ and approximately 100 ⁇ , or even between approximately 10 ⁇ and approximately 80 ⁇ , or even between approximately 10 ⁇ and approximately 65 ⁇ , and
- an energy per pulse emitted by the source is then between approximately 20 ⁇ and approximately 120 ⁇ , preferably between approximately 30 ⁇ and approximately 80 ⁇ , and preferably greater than 35 ⁇ , or even greater than 40 ⁇ , or even between approximately 40 ⁇ and about 60 ⁇ .
- the device is also configured to have a large peak power, that is to say between about 2.5 kW and about 1 MW, or between about 20 kW and about 50 kW, and / or a pulse frequency between about 100 Hz and about 10 kHz.
- the laser source 1 thus emits pulses with a determined pulse energy, at a given pulse frequency, for a given wavelength.
- the pulse duration is usually set by design of the laser source.
- the pulse frequency and the duration of each pulse induce a low average power, while having a high peak power.
- the device is configured to emit ultraviolet radiation and advantageously has the following parameters:
- the laser source is then configured to emit pulses having an energy per pulse, before an attenuator, between 40 ⁇ and 60 ⁇ .
- a point is generally marked by eight pulses at a pulse energy of approximately 25 ⁇ on the surface to be marked;
- a point is generally marked by a pulse at a pulse energy of about 15 ⁇ on the surface to be marked;
- a point is generally marked by three pulses at a pulse energy of approximately 10 ⁇ on the surface to be marked;
- a point is generally marked by a pulse at a pulse energy of approximately 25 ⁇ on the surface to be marked;

- the laser source 1 of the device according to the invention comprises a solid-state laser which emits a beam of pulsed infrared radiation.
- a solid-state laser which emits a beam of pulsed infrared radiation.
- Such a laser has the particular advantage of being cheap for high peak powers, and induces very little or no environmental constraints. In addition, its maintenance is simple.
- solid state laser is meant a laser whose excitation medium is defined as opposed to lasers having a liquid or gaseous excitation medium. That is, the excitation medium is either a solid or ionic crystal or an optical fiber. In English, the term for solid lasers is "solid-state laser".
- Such a particularly interesting source is for example an Nd-YAG laser which emits a main radiation at a wavelength of approximately 1064 nm.
- the device here comprises a multiplier 5 which is positioned at the output of the laser source 1.
- the multiplier 5 makes it possible to multiply, generally by a factor between three and ten, the radiation frequency of the laser radiation emitted by the laser source 1.
- the multiplier is chosen, according to the wavelength emitted by the laser source, so as to have at the output of the multiplier ultraviolet radiation capable of being absorbed by the material and sufficiently energetic to destroy the chemical bonds of the material of the lens while using optical components allowing a duration and a frequency of pulses that are suitable.
- the radiation will have a radiation frequency corresponding to a wavelength of approximately 266 nm.
- the multiplier 5 is positioned between the laser source 1 and the optical block 2.
- the laser source 1 and the multiplier 5 may for example either be united within one and the same housing, or be two separate elements to be juxtaposed on an optical line of the device. If necessary, the combination of the laser source with a multiplier in the same housing gives a system, called “laser system” for convenience, possibly very compact.
- the optical unit 2 comprises an afocal system 6, an attenuator 7, a scanner head 8 and an F-theta lens 9.
- the afocal system 6, the attenuator 7, the scanner head 8 and the F-theta lens 9 are here generally connected in series.
- the afocal system 6 is an optical system for expanding the beam of radiation that reaches it. In this case, it allows to triple its section, its diameter.
- the ultraviolet beam at the output of the multiplier has a diameter "d”. It enters the optical unit 2 by the afocal system 6.
- the afocal system 6 At the output of the afocal system 6 it therefore has a diameter "3 x d", that is to say a tripled diameter.
- the afocal system could also have a different enlargement factor, for example between two and ten.
- the afocal system 6 is fixed, that is to say that for a beam of a given diameter, it will always be applied to it the same enlargement factor. This is due to the constitution of the afocal system 6. There are, however, afocal systems whose enlargement factor is adjustable, variable. One of the advantages of having a fixed afocal system is to have a simpler and less expensive structure.
- the ultraviolet radiation enters the attenuator 7.
- the attenuator 7 mainly allows to adjust a fluence.
- the fluence is expressed in J / cm 2 for example. This is the amount of energy (in J) impulsive incident on the surface of the ophthalmic lens to be marked per unit area (in cm 2 for example).
- the attenuator 7 here has the particularity of being flexible.
- the attenuator 7 here has several modes of operation, it is configured to have several attenuation levels.
- the variation is for example either continuous or in increment. It is thus possible to adjust the energy of the beam according to the material of the lens to be marked.
- the optical block 2 thus has an optical path (excluding frequency multipliers 5), that is to say between the afocal system 6 and the F-theta lens 9, which has a transmission rate of about 80% energy. at 90%, which can decrease during aging of the optical unit.
- an optical path excluding frequency multipliers 5
- the laser source is reconfigured to emit a beam of radiation at another energy level, or it is then advisable to have a modulable attenuator, in the adjustable direction, mounted in series at the output of the laser source so to be able to modulate the energy of the radiation emitted by the laser source.
- the laser source 1 is preferably fixed energy, which makes the device more economical. It is then preferable to have an attenuator 7 adjustable in return.
- the fluence is determined to be sufficient to achieve an ablation marking mechanism according to at least one predetermined parameter of the material of the ophthalmic lens.
- the parameter of the material from which the fluence is determined is for example chosen from a degradation parameter and an absorbance at the marking wavelength.
- a performance table can be realized by calibrating the device with respect to various commonly used materials, for example by carrying out some etchings on test substrates and by measuring a corresponding fluence with respect to a rendered visibility, both to the naked eye and through vision systems such as a camera or a microscope, or alignment / control machines.
- the performance table makes it possible, for example, to match a mode of operation of the attenuator with a type of material to be engraved or to match an energy at the point of focus with a material to be etched.
- Matching energy at the point of focus with a material to be engraved is a more interesting option because it is not necessary to redo the performance table for each material as the system ages; it is enough to redo a calibration energy-operating mode of the attenuator which is easier.
- this option requires the ability to measure energy at the point of focus by pulse.
- the performance table can also be made by measuring a visibility of a mark on said material for a pulse energy and / or a mode of operation of the given attenuator and the measurement of a deformation induced by the marking.
- the device and here the optical block 2 in particular, comprises a probe 1 1.
- the probe 11 is arranged between the attenuator 7 and the ophthalmic lens to be marked 3, and here between the F-theta lens 9 and the lens to be marked 3.
- the probe 11 is notably configured to calibrate the attenuator 7, and / or for calibrating a system comprising the laser source 1 and the attenuator 7, by measuring the energy per pulse at the output of the F-theta lens, substantially identical to the energy at the focusing point, as a function of the energy by pulse from the laser source 1 and an operating mode of the attenuator 7.
- the beam passes through the scanner head 8.
- the scanner head 8 makes it possible to control an orientation of the laser beam towards the F-theta lens 9, and a position of the focused laser beam in a plane
- the points to be marked are defined and the scanner head synchronizes with the laser pulse frequency to illuminate / aim sequentially predetermined geographical points corresponding to the points to be marked.
- the scanner head 8 here includes mirrors 10 to orient the beam, but the beam orientation could be achieved by other means, such as a magnetic field.
- the beam passes through the F-theta lens 9 here.
- An F-theta lens is a flat-field lens forming a focusing plane. It thus makes it possible to focus the beam in the plane of focus with a determined beam diameter in the plane of focus, which makes it possible to achieve the points with a desired diameter.
- the F-theta lens 9 is here located at the output of the optical block 2. And in this case, it is located just above the ophthalmic lens to mark 3.
- the F-theta lens 9 has a focusing length of about 160 mm.
- the optical block 2 is thus configured to focus the ultraviolet laser radiation beam on the surface of the lens 3 for example with a beam diameter focused on the surface of the ophthalmic lens 3 positioned in the focal plane of the F-theta lens in the range of about 20 ⁇ to about 50 ⁇ . This allows for example to obtain a marked point with a diameter of about 15 to about 30 ⁇ .
- the various points are made by modifying the orientation of the beam with the scanner head 8. If different markings are to be made, it is the position of the lens to be marked 3 which is then modified.
- the device further comprises for example a mechanism for adjusting the distance between the optical unit 2 and the support 4 of the ophthalmic lens to be marked 3 (not shown), in order to be able to modify the altitude of the lens 3 during the marking process, if it involves carrying out several markings.
- the device preferably comprises a computer and a controller, forming a control and control unit 12.
- the control and control unit 12 comprises systemic elements configured to execute a computer program for carrying out each of the steps of a marking method having predetermined operating parameters for transmitting the ultraviolet laser radiation pulses with the previously stated parameters, namely:
- a pulse frequency is between about 100 Hz and about 10 kHz
- the marking of an ophthalmic lens comprises, for example, the following steps:
- a step 200 of parameterizations and / or calibrations at least one step 300 for producing at least one etching;
- At least one step 400 of checking the at least one etching If more than one engraving is needed, the position of the lens is adjusted, and the next engraving is performed. The parameterization and calibration steps then become optional.
- FIG. 4 presents operating steps of the method illustrated in FIG.
